"Fairly convenient to the airport, but not a safe neighborhood for walking. The room was clean, and the pillows were good. The hotel clerk was nice and helpful. Breakfast wasn't great, though; the oatmeal was lukewarm, and there was no fresh fruit.2018-08-26"

"Renovations underway; there was sheet rock dust in the room - needed soundproofing; we could hear everything in the next room, and a drunken party down the hall - had a view of dumpsters - wallpaper was stained - there were gaps around the AC, and every time we turned it on, the breaker shut it off - no paper or pen provided - there were gaps in the tiles - a night in hell.2012-09-01"

"This was the worst motel stay I've ever had. The room was disgusting and there was dirt in the bed, as well as black mold in the shower, fungus in the toilet and exterior shower corners. The towel rack was broken and fell off and struck me. The employees were nice but not helpful. The manager has yet to return my calls. Don't even think about staying here.2018-03-21"

"The motel was clean and affordable, and the room was handicap-accessible. Not enough space by the sink for toiletries. The employees were friendly and helpful. Quick cab ride to the airport.2017-12-14"

"A good, humble motel with nice employees. It was exactly what I wanted for my overnight stay.2016-08-01"

"Wonderful check-in; the hotel clerk was busy, but came out and apologized to us for the wait. He made us feel welcome and appreciated. We had dinner at the sports restaurant; the food was delicious, and our server was great. The parking staff was also friendly and welcoming. Stay here and enjoy the experience.2016-07-24"

"Updated room with comfortable beds. I liked the choice of firm and soft pillows. Good Internet access. The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful, even printing out my boarding pass and getting me a cup of coffee when the restaurant was closed. The airport shuttle only took about 5 minutes. If you're driving, push the button at the gated entrance to access the parking area.2016-02-29"

"I was traveling with a group of middle school students. The hotel staff was amazing, and made sure all our needs were met as we breezed in and out multiple times during our stay.2015-02-27"

"An excellent experience. We were well received when we arrived, and the hotel clerk even made sure the room was clean. All the employees had smiles and greeted us, as well as providing directions to a great restaurant, Armadillo Willy's. We'd definitely stay here again.2018-07-18"

"Great location. The hotel room was lovely, but once I was in the room, I couldn't get any help. The bathtub stopper didn't work, but there was no maintenance worker on duty. I didn't even bother to ask for an extra blanket. Don't expect good service here.2017-10-06"

"The hotel was under renovation, so there was sheet rock dust everywhere. The thermostat in the room was defective, and the smoke detector was wrapped in plastic. There was no hot water in the sink, and the shower water was only lukewarm. The bathtub didn't drain at all. Poor communication led to problems with the airport shuttle.2017-02-24"

"The surrounding area wasn't very nice; I wouldn't walk around by myself. Decent room, but the wireless internet connection was horrible. The staff was friendly.2015-06-26"

"Nice, basic hotel, but not worth the high price. Wireless Internet was free, but the signal was weak. Limited TV channels. There was a nice little grab and go sack lunch for us since we had to leave before breakfast began. Shop around.2015-06-20"

"Much nicer than I expected. Hotel was inviting, clean, and beautifully decorated. Toilet bowl was dirty. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. A great choice.2015-01-21"
